Jeff Bezos' Ex-Wife MacKenzie Scott Sells More Amazon Shares
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below.
MacKenzie Scott, the ex-wife of Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) founder Jeff Bezos, has recently sold 11% of her Amazon shares, valued at over $8 billion.
The Details: Scott received approximately 400 million Amazon shares as part of her divorce settlement with Bezos in 2019 and signed The Giving Pledge, a commitment to donate most of her wealth during her lifetime. The latest sale brings her total Amazon stock sales and donations to 255 million shares valued at approximately $37 billion.
Don’t Miss:
Scott has disposed of two-thirds of her Amazon shares in less than six years since the divorce. According to Forbes, she is one of the five most generous living donors in the U.S. and has given at least $17.3 billion to more than 2,300 separate nonprofit groups.
Forbes speculates the remaining $20 billion could be sitting in her various charitable accounts, with the shares likely sold, regardless of whether Scott moved them into one of her many reported donor-advised funds.
“Most charities have a policy of immediate sale,” Holly Welch Stubbing, CEO of National Philanthropic Trust, a donor-advised-fund sponsor where Scott reportedly has an account, per Forbes.
One organization Scott supported with proceeds from sales of Amazon shares is the West Philadelphia Skills Initiative, which helps job seekers find careers and employers locate top talent. Scott donated $4 million in unrestricted funds to the organization.

Stock Selloff Deepens With Fed Cut Bets in Focus: Markets Wrap
(Bloomberg) — Stocks fell, headed for the worst week in more than two months, as Trump trades lost steam and investors bet the Federal Reserve will have to slow the pace of policy easing.
Most Read from Bloomberg
The S&P 500 was just off lows in the last hour of trading, with tech stocks leading declines. The benchmark has now erased over half of the trough-to-peak gains it notched after the US presidential election. Traders see slightly more than even odds of a quarter-point cut next month following comments by Jerome Powell this week indicating the Fed was in no hurry to lower rates and a report Friday on October retail sales that included large upside revisions to the prior month.
As the initial euphoria about Trump’s pro-business agenda begins to fade, investors are coming to terms with the costs of his fiscal plans and their potential to reignite inflation.
“It will come at the expense of potentially larger budget deficits, potentially larger debt and there is also the inflation dimension,” said Charles-Henry Monchau, chief investment officer at Banque Syz & Co. “There’s been a realization that there is a price to pay for this.”
The S&P 500 fell 1.3% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 dropped more than 2%. Shares of all “Magnificent Seven” megacaps declined except Elon Musk’s Tesla Inc., with Amazon.com Inc., Nvidia Corp. and Meta Platforms Inc. sliding more than 3%. Applied Materials Inc., the largest US maker of chip-manufacturing equipment, suffered its worst stock decline in a month after giving a disappointing revenue forecast.
Late Friday, traders priced about a 56% chance the Fed will deliver a quarter-point reduction at its December meeting, down from 80% earlier this week. Bets on cuts were pared after Powell warned Thursday that the central bank may take its time easing policy. Boston Fed President Susan Collins said Friday a December cut remained on the table, emphasizing the central bank’s decision will be guided by incoming data.
“The market is expensive and I think Powell’s speech last night basically saying that Fed officials don’t need to rush to lower rates, that’s probably the main reason why we’re selling off specifically today,” said John Davi, CEO and CIO at Astoria Advisors, by phone. “The higher rates go, the more equity risk premiums tilt more in the favor of bonds.”

Delving Into the Significance of Insider Transactions
It’s important to note that insider transactions alone should not dictate investment decisions, but they can provide valuable insights.
When discussing legal matters, the term “insider” refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company’s equity securities, as stipulated in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
A new purchase by a company insider is a indication that they anticipate the stock will rise.
On the other hand, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
Transaction Codes Worth Your Attention
When analyzing transactions, investors tend to focus on those in the open market, detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase,while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Stocks Fall After Fed Comments, Strong Retail Sales Data
Stocks fell Friday, following a solid retail-sales report that could bolster the case that the economy is strong and may not need support in the form of lower borrowing costs.
Separately, a Federal Reserve official said it was too soon to say whether the central bank should cut interest rates at its meeting next month.
Another rate cut in December is “certainly on the table, but it’s not a done deal,” said Boston Fed President Susan Collins in an interview late Thursday. “There’s more data that we will see between now and December, and we’ll have to continue to weigh what makes sense.”
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell about 350 points, or 0.8%. The S&P 500 dropped more than 1%, and the Nasdaq Composite was down about 2.5%.
The latest moves highlighted investor uncertainty about whether the Fed is in a position to continue cutting rates as much as markets have come to expect—in part because the economy continues to hold up well.
On Friday, the Commerce Department said that retail sales gained 0.4% in October from September, better than economists’ forecasts for a 0.3% increase. Officials also revised their figures for September sales growth sharply upward to 0.8%, from an initial estimate of 0.4% growth.
“Various speeches by Fed officials show growing concern that disinflation is hitting a wall,” Jefferies analyst Thomas Simons wrote to clients after the data Friday. “But we do not think there will be enough evidence to confirm these hypotheses before the next meeting.”
The Fed’s next meeting is Dec. 17-18. Officials will see data on inflation and employment for November before that meeting.
Collins said Thursday she didn’t see any evidence that inflation was picking up due to new sources of strength in the economy, aligning herself with a view Fed Chair Jerome Powell expressed last week. Both of them suggested recent inflation stickiness has instead been an echo or “catch-up” effect of large price increases from the past few years, such as car insurance costs rising to reflect past increases in car prices that have since subsided.
“As far as I can tell, I do not see evidence of new price pressures,” said Collins. Firmer inflation in recent months instead reflects “the effects of the longer-term dynamics of past shocks,” she said.
